This was actually the biggest announcement of the show. HDR is the biggest leap in TV tech since going from 480 to 1080. It is great that everyone will be able to take advantage of this regardlss of if they have a day one PS4 or a PS4 Pro. As people get new display'sthis with HRD, the value of their device will only continue to grow.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I wonder how. Did they find a way to patch the HDMI port to be 2.0a compatible?
Afaik HDR is restricted to 4K streams over HDMI, meaning the ps4 will have to upscale to 4K as well.
Or did they find some magic way to add HDR to 1080p for Sony tvs.
Or do they simply mean 10 bit 1080p output (deep color)

Guess we'll find out next week.

I wonder if MS will do the same. Still this update will make the x1s less care worthy unless the update is like that HDR premium stuff that TV companies just spew around.
